Next year I have decided that I am going to have pets in the apartments. Collectively we are going to going to have two turtles and two goldfish. The turtles names are going to be Anna Maria and Alfonso and the goldfish are going to be names Laquisha and Shaniquia.
So Excited :)
Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday and as a result they were giving away free cake on Library Walk. Which leads to the realization: The world would be a much happier place if there was more free cake.
Think about it.
Lots of Love

Friday. We got a little tipsy and made a few great life choices. So this is the basic detail of what went down.
- Everyone loves everyone. Quite a lot. ‘Nuff said.
- Jere Bear’s bed got puked on by some girl (aka Nikki Bear).
- Pasta is delicious. Especially when it appears from nowhere. Surprise! Yuzo stole Nikki Bear’s.
- Mysterious bruises and embarrassing pictures. Oh dear.
- “Goalier” and “firn” are valid words in Banana Grams.
- Shout out to our new best friend Preston!
- “Sit the FUCK down and shut the FUCK up because the FUCKING RSO is FUCKING coming.” x 10. Lies Binnhy.
- Secrets? No such thing.
- Snakebites? Epic. Just ask Jere Bear.
- Rum? Not so much. Ask Binnhy.
- Never apologize for spooning. Especially when you won’t remember it anyway.
In short, an unforgettable experience.
Who are we kidding? We barely remember anything.
Jere Bear and Nikki Bear
So today Jere Bear was planning on getting a haircut. But it is raining, so he decided so stay here instead. So I decided that he would look adorable with his hair in pigtails.
And he does look adorable!
Love, Nikki Bear

Oh well, sometimes you just have to suck it up and carry on.
Lots of Love

There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth?
One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And why doesn’t ‘Buick’ rhyme with ‘quick’?

Source: angelng492Jared says I need to work on expressing myself and I know he’s right. He’s probably referring to my difficulties with the English language, but I prefer to interpret his advice at a more profound level. I feel like no one knows how I feel deep down; I want to let people in but I just don’t know how.
I woke up this morning and hit the books. (Let’s be honest. I did nothing of the sort. This was merely the plan.) I finished my Muir 40 essay and feel like my writing has improved. (Wishful thinking? I hope not.) Jared came back (Finally! Jared is the cutest.), improving my day immensely. I feel like Jared and I understand one another; he always seems to know exactly how I’m feeling (I’d like to think it’s mutual, but who knows?). He says my constant state of discomfort stems from repression. Here, in my Tumblr, I admit he is right: I can never focus on anything anymore and I know it’s because I haven’t been honest with myself. I also take this opportunity to apologize to Jared (you too Nikki Anne Loo!) for dismissing his advice as nonsense. Finally, I declare that I will no longer deny my feelings.
For all those readers out there (I appreciate the support!) that don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, maybe this will clear a few things up: Have you ever been in love? Cheesy question, I know, but it’s one I think I can finally answer with some degree of confidence.
Yes.
You know who you are. I’m waiting.
Love, Binhy
